Chapter 503

“Don’t worry. Nothing happened between us.” When Ken said this, he realized that his voice was extremely hoarse. Even his throat hurt as if he was about to catch a cold.

But he quickly remembered why he was like this.

Last night, Melody, the clingy little koala, had pestered him for a whole night, forcing him to take cold showers several times to calm himself down.

Now that the weather had started to turn cold, it would be strange if he didn’t catch a cold.

However, looking at the terrified Melody, he was glad that he had suppressed the demon in his heart and did not do anything to her. Otherwise… they might not even be friends anymore.

Ken felt a sense of loss for some reason, and his mood plummeted.

Meanwhile, Melody had slowly calmed down from her initial panic.

‘It’s impossible for Ken to be interested in me. Or rather, no man will be interested in me, who is extremely ugly.’ It was the basic understanding she had of herself in her new life. Moreover, although she felt sore all over, there was no pain in that part.

Although she had never really experienced the sex between a man and a woman, as a doctor, she still knew a little more about this common sense than ordinary girls.

Melody calmed down and looked down at her clothes. Her clothes were also intact. Nothing had happened between them…

“I’m sorry.” Melody smiled awkwardly and said, “I was just too surprised…” As she spoke, she got off the bed.

“You’re drunk.” Ken sat up and explained, “Did you drink a lot at Mr. Chapman’s birthday party?”

“No.” Melody shook her head. “I only drank two glasses of sweet wine. Although I don’t drink much, my alcohol tolerance should be not bad.”

Ken could not help but lower his eyes and laugh. ‘Not bad? How could she get drunk if her alcohol tolerance is not bad?’

From the look on her face, he knew she could not remember anything that had happened in bed, including what she had said in the latter half of the night.

“What are you laughing at?” Melody felt even more embarrassed. She also realized that she must have blacked out. Otherwise, all her memories after falling asleep in the car wouldn’t have disappeared.

“Nothing.” Ken shook his head and said, “Don’t drink those sweet wines at cocktail parties or banquets again. These are all specially made wines. They are mixed with many types of wines. The concentration is high and the aftereffects are strong. Even I usually won’t drink two glasses in a row.”

Although Melody didn’t say she drank it in one gulp, judging from the extent of her drunkenness, Ken knew she drank two glasses of wine in a row. ‘No wonder she blacked out.’

However, he was very curious why Melody, who usually did not drink, would drink two glasses of wine in a row for no reason.

‘She isn’t gluttonous. She wouldn’t drink just because it tasted good. Of course, I won’t get answers to these questions. Melody likes to bury everything in her heart and not tell anyone, Ken thought.

“I understand. I’ll try not to drink it in the future…” Melody said. She hesitated and asked, “Then why didn’t you put me in the guest room?”

Ken looked at her meaningfully and said, “When you suddenly remember what happened at that moment, you will know why we slept together.” He stopped talking and got out of bed with some difficulty.

As a doctor, Melody immediately felt that something was wrong with Ken.

She took a few steps forward and asked, “What happened to your foot?”

“I’m fine. Maybe I accidentally touched the bone fracture when I went out yesterday,” Ken said casually. He did not mention that he had personally carried her upstairs last night.

Melody immediately frowned and said, “I’ve already told you not to walk around casually before your leg injury recovers. Look, your injury must have worsened.”

After that, she shook her head and said, “No, don’t move yet. I’ll get the wheelchair up. Come with me to the hospital immediately for a CT scan to check on the bone.”

“No need,” Ken said casually, “It should be fine.”

Melody’s expression immediately darkened. “Ken, you always say that I don’t take my health seriously and that! always like to put on a brave front. But aren’t you the same? You don’t have to go to the hospital, but you don’t have to care about my safety in the future.”

Ken looked up at her and finally nodded in compromise. Alright, but we have to hurry. The plan at the airport will begin soon. Averi’s family is already on their way to the airport. As soon as they reach the airport, Janet will start moving.”

Melody knew the mission at the airport was important, but nothing was more important than his health. Moreover, the reason why Ken’s leg was fractured was because he risked his life to rush into the fire to save her.

“Then I’ll ask your men to send the wheelchair up. We’ll wash up and set off.” With that, Melody walked out.

However, the moment she opened the door, she saw a bowl with an unknown liquid inside.

Melody picked up the bowl and smelled it. It was hangover soup.

“Why did Ken not give me hangover soup when someone had made it? What exactly happened last night?’ Melody tried hard to recall, but her head started to hurt as she thought.

Helpless, she could only put this matter aside for the time being and carry the bowl downstairs.

“Mrs. Swanson, you’re awake?” Susan greeted her with a meaningful smile.

Melody nodded and told the bodyguards guarding the door to bring the wheelchair up and bring Ken down. Then, she went to the guest room on the first floor to wash up.

Susan was behind Melody the whole time, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Melody washed her face and looked at Susan in confusion. “Susan, why are you following me?”

Susan wanted to say something but hesitated. Under Melody’s urging, she said, “I’m just a maid. I have no right to say what I want to say. However, I’ve been through this before. I can’t help but remind you…

拜

Melody looked at her watch and said helplessly, “Susan, I’m in a hurry. If you have something to say, you can say it.”

Only then did Susan say, “Mrs. Swanson, if you don’t use condoms when you’re doing that with Mr. Swanson, you’d better not drink alcohol. It might not be good for the fetus if you get pregnant.”

Melody’s face quickly turned red to the roots of her neck.” Susan, you got the wrong idea. The two of us-“

Before Melody could finish, Susan had already revealed a look of realization. She exhaled and said, “So there are measures taken. Then I’m relieved. When you plan to prepare for pregnancy, I’ll tell you some things to take note of. Although you’re good at medicine, I know more about such things as an experienced person.”

Melody felt even more helpless. ‘What is going on?”

She felt that the more she explained, the bigger the misunderstanding was.

At this moment, Ken arrived at the living room.

He said, “Melody, are you done?” Unknowingly, he no longer talked to Melody in a distant tone.

Melody did not notice the change in the way he talked to her. After replying with “Coming right up,” she whispered to Susan, “Susan, there are some things about Ken and me that you don’t know. I’ll tell you when I find a suitable opportunity another day. I’ll go get busy now.”

Susan nodded as she watched Melody leave.

At the same time, at Airport Road.

Janet sat in the car with an extremely dark expression.
